Music

When I listen to music it helps me relax and almost block all of the problems in my life out for just those few minutes. It is a escape, and makes me happy. My favorite song is Between the Raindrops by Lifehouse featuring Natasha Bedingfield. It has a really good meaning, and is a Christian song. I'm not really a person who attends church all the time but I am a Christian and by listening to this type of music makes me happy. It always helps remind me that someone is there even when it seems like no one is and you want to give up. When I was younger I only liked the typical radio hits, and didn't get outside the box to see what I would like. As I got older though I started hanging out with different people and listened to different types of music and got interested. I started listening to everything and found what I really enjoyed. I am not very particular about my music, I have a very wide variety of music. I defiantly have my favorites, but I don't even think there is one type of music that I hate that I would never listen too. I love music so much that I like listening to any type of music. My family is the same way, and I grew up listening to more music than what I even did watch TV. I still am like that now, and it has made me very susceptible to all different types of music. My friends listen to come of the music I do, but I listen to everything so I cant really make any conclusions about us listening to the same type of music because I will listen to everything. Without music the world would be a completely different place. It would be boring. Without music, my life wouldn't be anything like it is now. I couldn't even imagine my life without music, because my life consist of music. I admire the music of Macklemore because he always puts meaningful words behind all of his songs. Every song he sings almost has a story behind it.  One event where I really connected to music was at the Carrie Underwood concert and she started singing Temporary home. It was right after my dad had died and that song is still one of my favorite songs. I don't think there is any type of music that shouldn't be tolerated. I love all types and even if someone doesn't like it there will be someone who does. I feel that music does have the power to heal. Music can help people through many hard things in their life. If you really listen to the lyrics of music you can really relate to most songs. It gives people a since of comfort when they listen to certain types of music because it is almost as if they are going through a lot of the same things as the writer of the song. It makes the listener feel normal. I know with me listening to a lot of Switchfoot has related to my life and gives me a since of comfort. Music defiantly has the ability to change a mood. In movies they play certain music for certain parts. Music has a mood to itself and when you listen to it, it can make you feel that way too. I think music is poetry, because music usually tells a story as does a poem, but with simple lines and phrases. Music for me puts me in a place of comfort that nothing else can. I would never want to sing professionally but I did choir for years and enjoyed it.
